No trams between Rochdale and Oldham due to “land movement”

All trams are cancelled until further notice, between Rochdale Town Centre and Oldham Mumps

Trams between Rochdale Town Centre and Oldham Mumps are not running today (Wednesday 10 July) due to a “land movement.”

Transport for Greater Manchester has confirmed that the trams have been suspended completely until further notice, as the land movement is affecting the track between Derker and Shaw & Crompton.

As a result, a closure will be in place from today to allow for engineers to carry out further investigations.

Pete Sommers, TfGM’s network director for Metrolink, said: “The safety of our passengers, staff and the wider public is our absolute priority, which is why we have made these decisions.

“I understand this will be frustrating for passengers, and am sorry for the impact on people's journeys.

“We will provide an update as soon as possible and I’d encourage people who usually travel in the area to check our app, website and social media channels for the latest information and advice.”
